Correct, but it is this specific city pair that makes it so unusual. Sure, if you want to go to Korea or Taiwan you can find discounted P fares. United has generally walled off the premium HKG market from deep discounts. What makes it especially unusual is that it is available beginning as early as tomorrow and has availability almost every day for the next six months.
